June 3, 2014 at 2:14 pmI knew Pat as a Dean Bus driver for my Early Childhood Special Ed. students in Lansing schools. She always seemed to be a calm and positive influence on the children. She had a smile for me and remembered my name even when we hadn’t seen each other for years. I will miss her as I’m sure all who met her will.
To her family–God Bless you as you remember her and know that you are in my prayers. Kay Murphy
